Well I wouldn't really doubt this to be honest!

The problem is not if it is honest or not... I think the correct word is "accurate"

Not the most popular, but the most used.

Googling for "how many software developers in the world" brings back some article placing that value at 18.2M.
Now consider CP has 13.6M, and that we're mostly Windows developers. And consider the most common language(s) discussed here.
The conclusion I draw from this is to question all numbers people pull out of their asses.

Nothing new.
Back in the 80s someone gave me a book full of pictures like that. Dust mites and things.
That looks like the one in the book.

Hardworking programmer will design the program that his user has the tendency to work with it in a hardworking manner.
Lazy programmer will design the program that will make his user becomes more and more lazy.
Hardworking people prefer do things in routine and disciplinary, but lazy people will always find a method that accomplish the task in less effort way and improve the method.
In other words, you can say that hardworking people are usually dump dumb and lazy people are actually smart and creative.
No offence, if you are both hardworking+lazy at the same time

I do know a few dump persons. Them being dumb is usually part of the deal, the rest follows.

Someone here has a sig with a quote that expresses your thoughts very succinctly. I think this is it:
Robert A Heinlein: Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

Another one...

Very smart programmers often work hard to create, for end-users, an illusion of simplicity that allows end-users to be lazy.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

That's a good part of why I became a developer. I've spent countless hours writing small utilities to help me save time doing repetitive tasks because I'm lazy.
More often than not, the time saved never adds up to the time spent writing said utilities.
This is always a propos.

Well it depends really, even the vice versa could be true.

I have always been meaning to post something like this, but was too lazy to do so ...
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

Then there are people like me who work hard to be lazy....

It took a lot of hard work to create the Python language.

You can't edit a document that is open, you can't replace an exe that is in use.
That is the right way.
